The key feature in shows I hate: being talked down to, or being patronised. I don't need things to be explained at every turn, and I certainly don't WANT IT. I'm not expecting everything to be a multi-layered masterpiece like Fringe or Battlestar Galactica which requires, nay rewards, loyal and repeat viewing but SOME effort being spent on affording the audience a modicum of respect and allowing for their intelligence is essential.

QUOTE(J▼hnkm @ Feb 24 2015, 05:08 PM)  Mrs Browns Boys, as already mentioned, is entirely laugh free and frequently makes me want to reach into the screen and physically assault them all. Glee, it wasn't always the worst thing ever, but basically from about episode 14 (ie. the first episodes produced after it became a smash) it went down the cheapest, most pandering, often offensive, route. Painting with the broadest of strokes and asking people to emotionally invest in caricatures. It doesn't work for long established shows and it didn't work for Glee. Two and a Half Men, Charlie Sheen's ''thing'' was funny for all over 5 seconds. Nearly a decade later it was unspeakably awful. Thankfully it's over now. Take Me Out, shining a spotlight on the worst of the British public and watching them actively try to outsleaze and outdo each other in terms of abysmal chat up lines, objectification, offensive humour and lazy stereotypes. All presented by a man who wouldn't know funny if it was to punch him in his stupid face. There are so many more, but I shall keep that for another vitriol filled post. Take Me Out was good for a few episodes to have a laugh, but it's just so cheap and awful. All of the people involved are awful and I agree that Paddy McGuinness isn't funny at all. He thinks he's the bee's knees. |

Two Pints Of Lager And A Packet Of Crisps or whatever it was called.
There was an awful comedy in the late 90s or early 00s with Samatha Janus in that was crap as well. |

Anything where ubertanned beautiful people are provided as entertainment and Heat Magazine fodder, where stupidity is celebrated and half the viewers are just watching in case someone gets drunk and naked so they can pause it on Sky+ and take part in some impromptu self-abuse.

This, by far, and dumb chat shows are the worst offenders. Anything that panders to the lowest very common (or posh) denominator for no good reason. Some very good shows have been mentioned already, sooooo wrong to be on the list, so for spite I'm going to bung in the hugely popular Eastenders. It's annoyed me for 30 years, melodramatic, humourless pish (apart from Dot). If life was really that unpleasant and full of bickering and misery and nastiness and nothing else, who'd bother! |

Two Pints was obviously made on a very low budget. I thought Sheridan Smith was pretty awful in that but she has excelled in almost everything else she has done. Will Mellor has also generally been better in other shows. I assume Two Pints was generally done with little rehearsal and an attitude of "That will have to do" when the cast managed to remember their lines. The programme had its moments although it went downhill after Ralf Little left.

If you mean 'Babes in the Wood' that also had Denise van Outen in, wholly agree on that. Not even Karl Howard (aka of 'Brush Strokes' and Flash adverts fame) could save how appalling that was. I think a shoo in on this thread has to be a show I've seen that my mum was fascinated by once - 6ixth Sense with Colin Fry. Yep, that really was the title. Psychic medium who could see dead loved ones or relatives (or in his case, gullible people). Needless to say she went to one of his said 'live reading shows' at our local arts institute and was not impressed thereafter. |

Worst show by far is Mrs Brown's Boys. I watched the Christmas special a few years ago and honestly it almost ruined the day for me, sat there with a face like a slapped arse the entire time.
